The most flexible modern auth library for TypeScript stacks in 2026. Plugin ecosystem for 2FA, phone OTP, organization roles, audit logs. Same code works with Next.js, TanStack Start, Express. Becomin…

Authentication

You are starting a full-stack TypeScript app and want long-term scalability with full control over auth flows.

You want a fully managed auth platform with no ops — use WorkOS or Auth0.

lucia-auth

lucia

Note: Lucia announced deprecation in 2024 — the maintainer is sunsetting it in favor of writing your own. Still useful as a learning reference for session-based auth patterns in TypeScript. Better Aut…

Authentication

You want to learn how session-based auth works from a clean codebase before building your own.

You are picking auth for a new production app — use Better Auth or Auth.js instead.

drizzle-team

drizzle-orm

TypeScript-first ORM with SQL-like syntax. ~25k stars. Lighter than Prisma, zero codegen step, faster cold starts on serverless. Becoming the default for new Next.js + Postgres projects.

Database & ORM

You are on Postgres/MySQL/SQLite, write TypeScript, and want SQL-like queries with type safety.

Your team prefers a high-level ORM with relations resolved magically — Prisma is more polished.

drizzle-team/drizzle-ormView

kysely-org

kysely

Type-safe SQL query builder for TypeScript. Lower level than Drizzle/Prisma — closer to writing raw SQL with types. Best when you really want to think in SQL.

Database & ORM

You write complex SQL and want type safety without an ORM abstraction.

You want schema migration tooling and a managed query layer — pick Drizzle.

colinhacks

zod

TypeScript-first schema validation. ~35k stars. The de facto choice for input validation in TS apps. Works with every form library, every API framework, every ORM. If you are not using it yet, you sho…

Forms & ValidationFrameworks

You are writing TypeScript and validating any input — forms, API requests, env vars, anything.

You are not on TypeScript or you are deep in a Yup codebase that works fine.

colinhacks/zodView

jquense

yup

Schema validation predating Zod. Still works fine but Zod has better TypeScript inference. New projects should pick Zod.

Forms & Validation

You are in a Yup codebase and migration cost is real.

You are starting fresh — use Zod.

payloadcms

payload

TypeScript-native headless CMS. ~30k stars. Self-hostable, code-first schema, generated TypeScript types. Best choice in 2026 for builders who want a CMS that respects code workflows.

CMS & Content

You want a CMS you can version-control and self-host with a TypeScript-native API.

Your content team needs a polished WYSIWYG and you are okay with SaaS — use Contentful or Sanity.

payloadcms/payloadView

strapi

Headless CMS with admin UI. ~64k stars. Mature, large community, plugin ecosystem. Heavier than Payload, more familiar if you come from WordPress.

CMS & Content

You want a mature CMS with a friendly admin UI and a large plugin ecosystem.

You want TypeScript-native code-first content modeling — Payload fits builders better.

strapi/strapiView

pnpm

Fast, disk-efficient Node package manager. ~30k stars. Replaces npm/yarn for monorepo work. Default for new TypeScript projects in 2026.

CLI & Dev Tools

You manage a monorepo or have multiple Node projects on one machine.

You have a single project and npm works — no need to switch.

pnpm/pnpmView

tsx-shell

tsx

Run TypeScript files directly in Node. Replaces ts-node for most workflows. Used by half the scripts in your `package.json`.

CLI & Dev Tools

You write CLI scripts in TypeScript and want to run them without compilation.

You are on Bun — it does this natively.

tsx-shell/tsxView

apify

crawlee

Node-native crawler from the Apify team. Built-in queues, retries, proxy rotation, headless browser pool — production patterns out of the box. Switches between Playwright, Puppeteer, and plain HTTP ba…

Scraping & Crawling

You need to crawl hundreds of thousands of pages reliably in TypeScript or Node.

A 50-line Playwright script will do — Crawlee is overhead for a quick scrape.
